Summary: Takes place in an AU where things went a little differently at the end of "What's My Line", and the Initiative came to town a bit earlier than in canon. Spike is not paralyzed in the church that night, but his unlife is still irrevocably changed. In a misguided attempt to restore her childe, Drusilla performs a spell that goes terribly wrong, and will change the course of not only Spike's life, but the Slayer's as well, forever.

Author's Notes: I know, you're all waiting to see the results of Dru's spell...more will be revealed next chapter, I promise :) It's a bit complicated, a bit of a *major* twist in the story, and probably very unexpected (I hope) and I'm sorry to put off the reveal even longer, but this chapter sort of took over, and wrote itself :P and the answers will have to wait....thanx for your patience and your kind feedback and support, it's so very much appreciate :)
*hugs*
